Diplomas, Transcripts and Reference Letters

Potential employers may ask you for official documentation of your U-M degree and other accomplishments. The Alumni Association provides students and alumni with all the information they need to easily secure these materials from the University.

Diplomas

You may order a replacement diploma from the University of Michigan Office of the Registrar's Diploma Department. Different fees apply depending on your diploma's size and type. Order a duplicate diploma from the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint campuses.

Official Academic Transcripts

Current and former students with a uniqname and password may order transcripts online through Wolverine Access. From the Student Business page, choose Order Transcript. This option is not available to those students who need rush service, have attachments which must accompany the transcript, or who last attended prior to Fall 1993.

For students and alumni who cannot use Wolverine Access and need a transcript quickly, or have transcript attachments, an order may be placed in person at one of the Student Services locations – please be sure to bring photo identification.

The U-M Career Center's Reference Letter Service

The U-M Career Center's Reference Letter Service (RLS) offers University of Michigan degree-seeking students and alumni the opportunity to have letters of reference on file to use in support of their application to graduate/professional school or employment.

A file of original reference letters is maintained for five years from the day the file was established.

There is a $25 fee to open and maintain a reference letter file with the RLS for five years.

File longevity may be extended beyond the initial five years for a $25 renewal fee. In addition, there is a nominal charge to process requests to have letters sent to prospective employers or graduate/professional schools.
